.US Domain Registration

The .US country-specific TLD was launched in 1985 and assigned to the United States of America, but it was available to the public in 2002. It is amongst the most widely used ccTLDs having in mind that many US enterprises prefer to use a local domain and the US market is amongst the largest worldwide. Quite a lot of institutions, agencies and local governments also used or still use second-, third- or even fourth-level .US domains along with their official dot GOV domains.

We are among the registrar firms offering .US registrations and your new domain will be active within a matter of minutes after you order it. The registration interval is between one and ten years and you can also transfer an already registered domain and we will renew it once the transfer process is completed and the domain is registered on our end. Through our Hepsia Control Panel, you will have full control over your domain – you will be able to modify your contact details, to park your domain, to add custom DNS records, and so on.

Only US citizens, residents, organizations and companies can buy .US domains, so foreign entities are required to have a local presence, whilst persons from other countries are not able to get such domains. To enforce these regulations, the Registry organization that controls the TLD – Neustar, performs random checks on existing domain names. This is also the reason for this country-specific domain name extension not to support privacy protection, so the Registrant (owner) contact details will always be publicly visible upon a WHOIS lookup.
